Resumo

Os anticoagulantes orais que atuam através do antagonismo à vitamina K são utilizados na prática clínica há muito tempo, porém ainda há dificuldades no seu manejo e na condução das complicações. Entre as complicações, as mais conhecidas são os transtornos hemorrágicos, mas outras também devem ser reconhecidas, tais como a necrose induzida por varfarina. Esta é uma grave, porém rara complicação, cuja fisiopatologia é ainda obscura e cujas causas são indefinidas. Dentre as possíveis causas, as mais prováveis são a deficiência de proteína C e de proteína S, reações de hipersensibilidade e deficiência de fator VII. Há maior incidência desta complicação entre mulheres de meia-idade, acometendo preferencialmente mamas e glúteos. As medidas mais importantes para o tratamento são: suspensão imediata da droga, uso de heparina não fracionada ou de baixo peso molecular em doses terapêuticas, emprego da vitamina K e, eventualmente, infusão de plasma fresco congelado ou de proteína C ativada recombinante.
